Google launched a video Doodle to celebrate Mexican-American entertainment icon Selena Quintanilla . The video Doodle explored the story of her life set to one of her most iconic songs: “ Bidi Bidi Bom Bom ”. Although October 17 specifically marks the date of Selena’s first studio album release with Capitol EMI (self-titled “Selena”),

we are taking the day to celebrate her life and continued impact on various aspects of popular culture as well as in the lives of her adoring fans.

The Doodle ran in 18 countries for 24 hours starting at midnight local time ( except the US, where launch was at 9PM PST on October 16 / 12 EST on October 17 ).
